This less coherent than I expected given the level of engagement.

Grok is multiple things, and the article is intermixing those things in a way that doesn't actually work.

Stuff like:

> It’s about aligning AI with the values of whoever can afford to run the training cluster.

Grok 4 as an actual model, has the same alignment as pretty much every other model out there, because like pretty much everyone else they're training on lots of synthetic data and using LLMs to build LLMs.

Grok on Twitter/X is a specific product that uses the model and while the product is having it's prompt tweaked constantly, that could happen with any model.

What Elon is doing is like adding a default empty document that declares that he's king of the world to a word processor... it can be argued the word processor is now aligned with with his views, but it also doesn't tell us anything about the alignment of word processors.
